LIECHTENSTEIN ENERGY STORAGE RENEWABLES
oundbreaking reality of energy storage. Think of it as nature''s own time machine, letting us capture clean power when it''s a undant and use it when we need it most.
View DetailsSamina Power Station, currently the largest of the domestic power stations, has been operational since December 1949. In 2011-2015, it underwent a reconstruction that converted it into a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station. In recent decades, renewable energy efforts in Liechtenstein have also branched out into solar energy production.
Energy in Liechtenstein describes energy production, consumption and import in Liechtenstein. Liechtenstein has no domestic sources of fossil fuels and relies on imports of gas and fuels. The country is also a net importer of electricity.
Lawena Power Station is the oldest in the country, opened in 1927. The power station underwent reconstructions in 1946 and 1987. Today, it also includes a small museum on the history of electricity production in Liechtenstein. Samina Power Station, currently the largest of the domestic power stations, has been operational since December 1949.
Liechtenstein has used hydroelectric power stations since the 1920s as its primary source of domestic energy production. By 2018, the country had 12 hydroelectric power stations in operation (4 conventional/pumped-storage and 8 fresh water power stations). Hydroelectric power production accounted for roughly 18 - 19% of domestic needs.
In 2016, non-renewable sources accounted for 67,35 % and renewable sources for 32,47 % of Liechtenstein's electricity supply. Energy production from non-renewables consisted of 56,88 % foreign imports of electricity produced by nuclear power, and 0,65 % of electricity produced in Liechtenstein from imported natural gas.
Liechtenstein's national power company is Liechtensteinische Kraftwerke (LKW, Liechtenstein Power Stations), which operates the country's existing power stations, maintains the electric grid and provides related services. In 2010, the country's domestic electricity production amounted to 80,105 MWh.

Energy production from renewable resources accounts for the vast majority of domestically produced electricity in Liechtenstein. Despite efforts to increase renewable energy production, the limited space and infrastructure of the country prevents Liechtenstein from fully covering its domestic needs from renewables only. Liechtenstein has used hydroelectric power stations since the 1920s as its primary source of do
